Ali’s Summer Holiday

Last summer, I travelled to the city to visit my aunt for a week. I didn’t know that it was a bad
choice until I spent some days there. It was dirty. The streets were crowded by cars and buses.
Factories were everywhere and some of them were even in the city center. As a result, the air was
polluted. When I walked around the city, I saw people throwing garbage in the streets due to not
having enough rubbish-bins in the streets. One day, I decided to go to the beach. Actually, I
found rubbish everywhere and the water wasn’t as clean as I imagined because factories threw their
waste water in the ocean.
In my aunt’s house, I didn’t like how my aunt and her children use water. They took long
showers, so they squandered water every day. They kept the TV and the lights on all day. My aunt
kept the water running while washing the dishes. Her husband overused water every time he wanted
to wash his car. I tried to explain to them that overusing water and energy was bad but they didn’t
care. I got angry about that and decided to go back home before my holiday finished. It was the
worst holiday I have ever had.
